The ensemble of musical instruments typically played during a betitik performance such as drums, gongs, bebandil , and kulintangan produce a rhythmic melody symbolising harmony and unity. “I have fond childhood memories of betitik when my house was always a focal point in the community. With a large family, sometimes we had two or three weddings a year, and there were other events, so we frequently played betitik,” he said.
He expressed gratitude that the betitik tradition is now recognised and popular among the younger generations of Bajau Samah, and that it has also gained interest from other ethnic groups in Sabah, such as the Kadazan, Dusun, and Rungus. “In Negri Sembilan, I was actively involved in the cak lempong tradition of the Seri Minang group, which is similar to betitik. So, the transition was quite easy,” he explained.
